Mumbai, Feb 05 (IANS) Akshay Kumar is overwhelmed with the response to his latest film �Airlift�, which revolves around the evacuation of Indians from Kuwait during the 1990 Iraq-Kuwait war. The actor says such type of films come �almost once in an actor’s lifetime�.
�My Twitter feed has been flooded with #Airlift, so much positivity and love… I couldn’t have asked for more and for sure wasn’t expecting this much hence feeling very overwhelmed,� Akshay tweeted on Wednesday.
�While most of you have written I should do more films like ‘Airlift’… I wish I could but honestly films like these come very rarely, almost once in an actor’s lifetime and I am extremely fortunate to be a part of it. Thank you all for everything,� he added.
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, �Airlift�, which also stars �The Lunchbox� actress Nimrat Kaur, tells how the Indian government evacuated 1,70,000 people of Indian origin and also of other nationalities through 488 flights during the Iraq-Kuwait war.
